<Tansy_B> 4 RPG ON SINK OR SWIM!!
* LadyStormcrow is now known as Stormcrow_Selkirk
* McGrath is now known as Jack_Spinner
<Jack_Spinner> <McGrath> :: is in the hospital ::
<Countrykat> ((One of these days you’re gonna drown someone and then what?! HUH?! Its all fun and games till someone sinks! XD))
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::is also in the hospital::
<Tansy_B> ((<Fletch> ::yep me too!:: ))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL))
<Tansy_B> ::sent to Joe’s by Ringo most likely? XD::
* Countrykat is now known as Joseph_Forge
<Joseph_Forge> ::just tell mun where to put him and she’ll put him there!::
<Tansy_B> ::knocks on Joe’s office door::
<Tansy_B> ::so be on other side of it. XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::LOL! :: enter.
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::in private room most likely. calls up Atropos::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::has been keeping a quiet eye on the Bureau ever since the last encounter, trying to see if they plan to move Spinner anywhere or what. Right now is in her little van in a dark alley, monitoring one of the surveillance bugs she set up down the street. Feels her cellphone vibrate and picks up.:: Atropos speaks.
<Tansy_B> ::opens door and goes inside. shuts it quietly after and looks over at Joe. salutes::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> He’s in the MBI…
<Joseph_Forge> ::returns the salute.:: Sit. ::he heard about what happened by now or wha?::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::frowns under her veil now:: I know. I nearly had him a few days ago.
<Tansy_B> ::mun would assume Ringo would have sent a memo… and it was prolly on the news XD::
<Tansy_B> ::goes and sits as told::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> Nearly had him? What stopped you? ::growls::
<Joseph_Forge> ::okies! Just making sure.  looking at her a moment:: I’ll get to the point. I’m suspending you until further notice.
<Tansy_B> ::frowns:: Suspending me…?
<Joseph_Forge> Well..while we all have problems with Spinner I think your actions of late have proven that you cannot contain your anger against him.  Part of being an agent is learning that just because someone has done bad things doesn’t mean you have permission to harm them just because you want to.  I can’t risk the entire organization getting into trouble for your actions.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> Spinner alerted the agents, and I had to retreat. ::watches the news too, and thinks maaaybe she’d better try and save face after what’s happened to Josie:: Governor Lyons, I am truly sorry for what has happened.
<Tansy_B> ::folds arms:: Fine… sir. ::glowers::
<Tansy_B> Am I still allowed to live here?
<Jack_Spinner> ((<Joe> You live here? :: surprised :: ))
<Tansy_B> <Josie> Don’t be sorry. Just get the job completed, ASAP. ::hangs up::
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiies!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::closes her phone too, and checks the surveillance again:: <I had best do as she says, or I may lose this job.> ::wonders if she’ll have to take a fee reduction as it is::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs:: Tansy..I’m not kicking you out. I’m not even firing you.  I just think that dealing with Spinner is a bit more than you can handle.  Tasha was never able to handle Lyons so we kept them apart. I can see the same has to be said of you and Spinner.  So..help out with the magic side on getting Mark back if you can, and leave spinner to the rest of us, okay?
<Jack_Spinner> :: in his cell, lying down, yawns, scratches stomach ::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((<Atropos and Tansy> ::eventually find themselves in the unemployment line together, and bond over their Spinner-related screwups:: ))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiiies!::))
<Tansy_B> Yes sir… ::meekly::
<Joseph_Forge> ::stands up, walking around to go lean on the desk in front of her:: I think we all have someone that gets under our skin.  Spinner seems to be yours. Just take a breather for now and don’t worry about him. Forget he’s even here.  If you need to, come out to mine and Trina’s place to relax for a while.  Let the fresh air clear your mind.
<Tansy_B> It is hard to just forget he’s even here… ::sighs, looks up at him:: but I will take this… suspension and do things away from the MBI.  I will keep my radio available should I be needed.
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods;: Thats a good idea.  I’m sorry to have to take these actions.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::judged from the various surveillance recordings that Spinner’s still at the MBI, so starts thinking. Takes out another moth-thingy and examines it:: <. . . No, this won’t do. It only records.> ::makes a mental note to see if she can upgrade what it’s capable of, then puts it back in her robe and rummages in a case under the seat. Produces a slimmer version of the hypodermic poison-scissors she once used o
<Stormcrow_Selkirk>  <I wonder . . .>
<Tansy_B> ::stands:: No.  I am sorry I have messed things up so badly.
<Joseph_Forge> Well..take your time to think on everything.  Stay close in case we do need you.
<Tansy_B> ::nods and salutes. heads out of his office… about to leave the building… but must make sure Spinner is still in there. vanishes and appears inside the cellblock. looks in the cell::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::gets out some capsules and fills the hollow blades with only the paralytic serum for now. Stashes a few extra hypos of paralytic on her, then gets out of the van, locks up, and heads for the MBI!::
<Jack_Spinner> :: opens an eye :: Here to try to get me killed again?
<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs and goes sit back down. shaking head::
<Tansy_B> No.  I’m leaving.  I have been suspended.
<Jack_Spinner> :: gets up, approaches the bars :: So, you’ve got some free time then?
<Tansy_B> Yes.  I just wanted to be sure ::backing away as he goes to the bars:: that you are locked in here properly with no means of escape. ::glares at him, clenches fists:: I hope this is the last time I see you. ::lil’ hiss::
<Jack_Spinner> Why do you hate me so much? :: crosses arms, leans on the wall :: I don’t hate you at all.
<Tansy_B> Liar!  You hate everyone!  And why else do you think it is I hate you?  You’re a horrible evil selfish kat, who cares nothing for life.
<Jack_Spinner> That’s awfully harsh. Kind of hurts my feelings actually. I mean, sure, I’ve done some things I’m not proud of, but I’ve spent my entire life focussed on others.
<Tansy_B> Focused on making others miserable.  ::folds her arms:: You once held a position in an organization that was supposed to help and protect katkind.  You were only helping yourself to power and anyone who stood in your way you tried to destroy.

<Jack_Spinner> My career in the NSA was dedicated toward the protection of everyone as a whole, from all kinds of threats and dangers. And let’s keep in mind, those who stood in the way weren’t exactly always great individuals themselves. Like, uh… :: thinking :: The Pastmaster, for instance. We did a lot to get rid of him.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Stormcrow> ::hey!::
<Tansy_B> So?  The MBI is filled with wonderful good kats, and you tried to frame them, kill them, ruin them! ::hands on hips::
<Jack_Spinner> Not ALL of them. I’ve had my differences with Sulfur, but there are a number of personnel here I’ve had nothing but respect for. In fact, I’ve tried to hire several of them.
<Tansy_B> Hah! Only one you hired was just as bad as you.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::has some idea of the Bureau’s interior layout thanks to the moth-thingy’s exploration, brief though it was. Begins creeping around the outside of the building again, looking for back or side entrances she could use, or even windows that might open. Eventually finds the side emergency exit, and yes, mun is going over the floor plans on the website::
<Tansy_B> ((LOL <Matt>::glad they are not wasted!:: ))
<Jack_Spinner> It was a mistake. I’m not perfect. Don’t tell me you’ve never made any.
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL!))
<Tansy_B> Psh.  It is useless to even bother talking to you.  You always twist words or try and make others see your way of thinking is right.
<Jack_Spinner> Isn’t that what you’re doing right now?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::does not know, however, if it’s one of those “alarm will sound” emergency exits. Much as she hates to use crude methods, gives it a small telekinetic yank as a test::
<Tansy_B> I am trying to understand why you are so cruel.
<Jack_Spinner> <Door> :: opens, nearly falling off its hinges. Is not in great condition. No alarm ::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::blinks under her veil, freezes in case that alerted anyone::
<Tansy_B> ::didn’t hear that from where she is XD::
<Jack_Spinner> I’m not cruel. I’m just incredibly misunderstood it would seem. I make pragmatic decisions because someone has to. It’s a burden, but I do it anyway.
<Tansy_B> … pragamatik…? ::confused expression::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::when things seem quiet, slips into the hallway. Looks around.:: <The lobby was that way, and Spinner came from this direction, so . . .> ::begins creeping in the general direction of the cellblock, ears flicking about as she listens for anyone else::
<Jack_Spinner> It means being practical and putting aside your feelings to make the correct decision.
<Tansy_B> So why is forcing ME to do your wicked deeds a “good decision”?! ::lil’ growl, can be heard by sneaky Atropos::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::halts outside the far door to the cellblock as she hears growliness inside. Waits now and listens::
<Tansy_B> ((“correct decision” ^ that is))
<Jack_Spinner> A lack of time to explain, mostly, and a also a lack of resources on my part. And these “wicked” deeds, as you call them, as tough is it may be for you to see, were neccessary.
<Tansy_B> Necessary for what?  Your revenge?  ::hrmphs::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::can’t help smiling a little, likes the way Spinner thinks::
<Jack_Spinner> For the greater good. :: sighs :: I’m sorry that you can’t see it.
<Tansy_B> Greater good?  What greater good?  You kill Mark and Lyons and whoever else and then what?  What greater good would be served?
<Jack_Spinner> Why should I bother telling you. You’re just going to go on your little vacation and forget about everything that’s going on :: turns away ::
<Jack_Spinner> ((have to restart. brb…))
* @Jack_Spinner  Quit (Quit: Jack_Spinner)
* McGrath has joined
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Wb!))
* ChanServ sets mode: +o McGrath
<McGrath> ((ty))
<Tansy_B> ((WB!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((WB!))
* McGrath is now known as Jack_Spinner
<Tansy_B> I’m not going on a vacation.  I’m suspended.  But fine.  I am certain it is something that is fore YOUR greater good, not anyone else’s.  Goodbye, Spinner. ::turns to head out of the cellblock::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::as she hears that, ducks around the corner to wait for Tansy to leave::
<Tansy_B> ::exits not seeing Atropos, heading out the backway::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::once Tansy’s gone down the hall, goes to enter the cellblock herself::
<Jack_Spinner> :: once she’s gone :: She’ll come around. They always do. :: turns around, and pauses, seeing Atropos standing there ::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::stands there in her long hooded black robe and creepy silver veil, looking dark and scary. Would look more so if she were taller, of course::
<Tansy_B> ((<Spinner> … halloween already? How old are you and what are you supposed to be?))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL))
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL!!))
<Jack_Spinner> … New here?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> <Atropos> ::voice is creepy and echoey and accented:: Not exactly, Spinner. ::takes the hypo-scissors out of her robe, and levitates them into the air::
<Jack_Spinner> :: look of surprise, backs up, but there’s not far to back up :: So, it’s you. Big fan of your work. Very… professional.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Oh, you flatter me. ::says so in a friendly and conversational tone, even as she sends the hypo-scissors closer::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((^Atropos))
* Stormcrow_Selkirk is now known as Atropos
<Jack_Spinner> I doubt I could offer you double, because you’re a professional and would never do that, and secondly because I’m broke… :: as his back is to the wall and the instrument of death  gets closer ::
<Atropos> ::right now it’s just an instrument of paralyzed-for-a-few-hours, but still not fun:: True, true. You know me well.
<Jack_Spinner> You can let Lyons know she’s still a loser, and everyone will find out eventually! :: as is pricked, and eyes roll back as loses consciousness ::
<Atropos> As long as she pays me, I do not care. ::once he’s gone down, takes the hypo-scissors back and examines the lock on the cell door::
<Jack_Spinner> :: is dead weight and can be deposited wherever as the mun has to go ::
<Joseph_Forge> ((maww nights Matt! ::huggles::))
<Tansy_B> ((nights!))
<Atropos> ((Nights, Matt!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((oh wait..I huggled evil! OMG! NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!))
<Jack_Spinner> ((Nights!))
* @Jack_Spinner Quit (Quit: Jack_Spinner)
<Tansy_B> <lock> ::been upgraded since he was able to slip out of his cell previously, but possibly bypassable::
<Joseph_Forge> ((Get it off! ::wipes off evil!:: NUUUUUUUU!))
<Tansy_B> ((lol!))
<Atropos> ::carries a few lockpick tools etc. on her person, so sets to work!::
<Atropos> ((<Atropos> ::is actually quite slim – all that pudge is really the masses of tools and gadgets she carries under her robe. Clanks when she walks, too.::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Diiies!::))
<Tansy_B> ((::Dead!::))
<Tansy_B> <door> ::we’ll say is… DUN DUN DUUUUN opened!::
<Joseph_Forge> ((and guys I think I’m gonna call it a night too.  Nights you two! see you tomorree! ::huggles::))
<Tansy_B> ((nights!))
<Atropos> ::once she has the door open, sets about dragging Spinner outta there and back to her van::
<Atropos> ((Nights!))
* @Joseph_Forge Quit (Quit: Jose Jalapeno! On a steeeeeeeeeek!)
<Atropos> ::since it isn’t very far from the cellblock to the emergency exit, hopes she can get out of there without too much trouble::
<Tansy_B> <no one> ::seems to be in the vicinity! mwhahahaha::
<Atropos> ::then back to the van we go! Once there, stuffs Spinner into the back and binds and gags him. Has a few hours before the paralytic wears off, but taking no chances. Gets in the driver seat and rests for a few minutes, having a drink of water. Then gets out her phone and calls Josie!::
* Tansy_B is now known as Josie_Lyons
<Josie_Lyons> ::answers phone:: Yes?
<Atropos> I have him, Governor.
<Josie_Lyons> ::sits up wincing.:: … where will you be?
<Atropos> Where would you like? He is still alive, but he will be no trouble for the next few hours.
<Atropos> ((<Atropos> Darned bios, making my job complicated, ::trails off grumbling::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::thinking then gives an address to an old unused office building in downtown Megakat City:: Take him in the basement. I’ll be there in an hour or so.
<Atropos> Splendid. I will see you then.
<Josie_Lyons> ::hangs up and Grinch like grin spreads across her face::
